conference by submitting an innovative and forward-thinking proposal for paper
presentations or workshops/interactive sessions by Friday, 31st May 2019. Proposals must relate to the following subthemes.

  • Sustainable Collections: Collection management preservation/disposal, storage practicalities, risk management/ safeguarding

We would be pleased if you share your experiences, questions and ideas successes and failures with us. We encourage you to use new learning formats and active mediation formats. Please keep your presentation brief and concise. It should not exceed 15 minutes and should encourage discussion afterwards.
